Dave,

Correct, i have 3 sticks, 256, and two 512's and dispute with paypal
ongoing
now
:-(
I ran Memtest86 with both the 512's in and both were fine, and stataed
i had
1024.
I ran it with one 512 and the 256 as well.
It seems the only issues that state I have 512 when both slots are
filled
and have 1024 is crucial.com, and in windows/start/run/msinfo32
says my total physcial memory is 512.

So is you have one 256MB and one 512MB, what is your total physical
memory when you run msinfo32?

If all of your sticks are in good shape, my guess is that you need to
change a BIOS setting.

I looked for a bios update, there is a few but not sure what I
need...what
is a bios flash anyway ? someone mentioned that may help me

Flashing the BIOS chip is a way to upgrade it. But this is probably not
necessary, Still, you need to enter the BIOS and note the settings.
Hopefully there is one for RAM you can change to the proper value.
